San Diego selling police horses
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — The city of San Diego says it will sell its seven police horses via an online auction as a way to help balance its budget.
The horse unit, started in 1983, is disbanding, and the officers have been assigned to other units.
About a third of the San Diego Police Department’s dogs are also being laid off.
The horse auction will be held Feb. 1 through Feb 10 on the Web site Publicsurplus.com.
Potential buyers can see the horses Feb. 4 at the police stables.
